Five-star center Marques Bolden will not announce his college decision Sunday, according to ZagsBlog.com’s Adam Zagoria.

Bolden and his father both told Zagoria on Saturday that the top recruit would not be announcing his college choice Sunday, which is his 18th birthday. Bolden said he wanted to make the announcement at his high school.

The 6-foot-11 prospect from DeSoto, Texas is expected to pick either UK or Duke, and that decision likely will come sometime in the next week. Bolden had been saying that he planned to make a decision before Sunday.

Scout.com ranks him as the No. 12 overall player and No. 1 center in the class of 2016.
